Don't worry it got -8 already which will removed after you get the access to it.also 30 days is a lot of time for the account to be recovered

Those posts were from before I reported the account stolen via this OP. Fortunately, staff did place a temporary 30 day lock on the account back then. Something I am very grateful for them doing. Unfortunately, that time has passed and I believe the 'hacker' could use the account again. Or at least to my knowledge he/she could.

seems someone deleted my post for no reason phew...why mods do this. can see only your reply in this whole topic maybe they don't want to help you .

No, unfortunately not, hence me bumping it and begging for the attention.  

I know the staff must be busy, that I can certainly understand but, it has been months now. I wonder if the 'hacker' is still profiting off my personal account with his signature campaign. Which is salt in the wound for me.

The negative feedback the account has gotten, which I am thankful for being placed, makes me cringe every time I see the old posts. I fear people will not look to see the negative trust is there for the reason of the account being stolen and reflect poorly on me personally. The account still has my name in the 'skype' field and 'other contact' field. I have worked very hard to maintain a professional and honest reputation. I hate seeing that being jeopardized by something now out of my control.

I would gladly compensate for the staff member's time to help me recover the account.

bump. May I please get BCT staff's attention with this matter?

Oh that is such a relief! Thank you kindly!!!

Banned him for 30 days for unsubstantial posts so at least he can't do anything in the meantime.

Sadly it can be a slow process. Making a thread and signing in right thing.   But again it can be slow you can look at other threads to see this, admins are busy and this seems more common place anymore.

Best thing you can do in mean time is get DT members to leave temp feedback saying it's been hacked.  This warns others about it and shows up bright red by their name.  I think this is best option in time you wait.    DT members do read meta a good amount... so I expect this is likely outcome.

Hello BCT users, moderators, and more specifically, admins.

My name is Steven Saxton and I am composing this post as instructed by hilariousandco, a global moderator. I do have an account, my personal BCT account CryptoCanary, that has been hacked. While losing access to my account, for which I maintained with dignity for a long time, is bad enough in itself. I use this account to represent my own self in all of my projects. Projects being: Donationcoin, Sterlingcoin, EverGreenCoin, and BERNcash. Of course, I also use this account to assist community members of other projects. I also use this account to represent the USA franchise of NewsBTC for which I own and operate. I state this because the account is not only linked to my good name but, also my personal and professional ambitions in this newly formed industry. I do hope BCT staff can address this situation swiftly because I take very much pride in my achievements and my identity. That identity is now being compromised by the malicious person now by not only changing the signature on the account but sending Private Messages to people using the account and making posts.

On March 16th, 2016, I did send a message to theymos using a user, BernieCoin, from one of my other projects, BERNcash. As instructed by a post made by theymos, I included a signed message and followed his given template for the signature and cited the unedited post I had previously made staking a Bitcoin address for the CryptoCanary user.  Here is an excerpt of that post with some unimportant personal details removed but including the important signature:

 

Again, to this message I did not receive a response. No help seemed to be coming. I also noticed when I received this response message from my identity hijacker the account was now being used for a signature campaign something I never did. My signature always was used as a signature and contained my name.

So now my identity crisis continues. I report one of my previous posts that now contain the forged signature to a moderator, mprep, using the Sterlingcoin account I am using for this post. My thought was, maybe it was unwise of me to report this abuse of BCT and my identy within with an account that was only months old. I explained the situation briefly and asked for help. I was very happy to see the glimmer of hope when hilariousandco responded to the Sterlingcoin user with the brief instruction to make a post in meta and wait for an admin to sort it out.

To the moderators and admins, I do understand you must get requests like this in the loads daily. Some of which I am sure are fictitious and malicious in nature, slowing down the process for legitimate users in need of assistants. I do sincerely beg of BCT staff to expedite the handling of this matter. The user is now making posts using the account and my identity. None of the posts look to damning yet but, what do I do? Should I quote these posts and inform the involved communities that the account is hacked and to not trust the account as a hero member? None-the-less as myself for my name is still present in the account information.

I cannot stress enough how important this account is to me. I know some of you will be thinking, "Well you should have protected it better." I did have a 15 character password containing both capital and lower case letters and many numbers. Admittedly I did not have a security question defined but do not know if that would have helped any because I imagine that would have been changed as well. BCT staff, again, I beg of you for your prompt attention to this matter before more damage is done. Please help me.


Thank you in advance for any help you can give me in gaining access to my personal identity.

Very Sincerely,
Steven Saxton
(The real CryptoCanary)

p.s. I can also prove my identity using signed messages of Donationcoin, Sterlingcoin, and EverGreenCoin or any other method that might help reassure BCT staff that the account has been and is compromised in an effort to retain my personal identity.
